I don't know that there is a "best vehical" Maybe it's more a best method
based on application.
Roof racks have been great from me. Especially when traveling with three
people, bikes and gear.
They have worked on cars, mini vans and my current Escape. The Element we

I'm also not a tall guy, but I am a car guy. The Element, aside from gas
mileage, is a great carrier, but Honda is taking it off the market. As a
new vehicle, it's not a viable recommendation.
At least one local Rivendeller (see, back on topic!) used a RAV-4 as a bike
carrier, to store them vert
Sorry, don't bother, never mind, etc etc etc -- I misread that as

I have a Honda Element too and I think it is ideal for a bike and gear carrier.
I use fork holders mounted on pieces of old Trex decking to lower the bikes to
make easy entrance to rear hatch. As an exercise I managed to fit four bikes
alternating front ends and back ends but three is more pra

When I say "sex" referring to a car I mean the following. You know
when you see an older guy, like me, driving down the road in a hot car

"don't want to ruin it", and "do you know what this car's gonna be
worth some day"? To me
Well, all true, but also in the Jeeps favor:
4WD-you probably got the same 30+" we got yesterday.
